I've got this urge to try to cycle the West Highland Way in a day but think it would be too much for a calendar day and was wondering what people's thoughts were on what constitutes a proper IAD mission? Is it ok to do it within 24 hours or do those 24 hours need to be within the same calendar day? I've done 100 rock climbs in a day and a few bike tons but obviously off road is a lot harder so I'm thinking of trying to make it easier by having a bit of a kip in between two 8 hour sessions. Start at 3pm , bike for 8 hours, sleep for 7 hours then 8 hours more biking the next day.
So what's the rules? Is it ok to go for a 24 hr session or does it really need to be a calendar day?
Personally I would say its a calendar day.
You can start at 3am ride 8 hours kip 7 then ride the remainder.
If you need your beuty sleeo in the night what the challenge? Doing it in a day is the sacrifice and you need to work outside your comfort zone.
